The match, which was plagued by errors due to the awful weather conditions at Lightfoot Green, started with Preston’s Marcus Jackson scoring the opening points with a penalty. Preston then added to their lead with their only try of the match when Phil Whyte went over after 10 minutes.
Huddersfield responded just before half time with a well worked try from Mark Whitehead and a conversion from Chris Johnson.
Penalties
The Grasshoppers extended their lead in the second half with three penalties from the boot of Jackson with Huddersfield only scoring one from the boot of Johnson.
Grasshopper fans faced a nervy finish after they finished the match with only 14 men after Lee Imiolek was yellow carded and Johnson converted the resulting penalty. However Preston held strong despite Huddersfield throwing all they had at them and secured a vital victory
